Bullish 19-year-old Evelyn Ijeh who plays for Gothenburg FC started playing at the age of 9 in IFK Gothenburg until she clocked 17 years old and moved to Kopparberg Gothenburg FC.
” At 17 I was already in the Swedish National Team and played the Women’s Champions League at 18 years old”.
She told tobexSports that her dad an ex-international played a major role in her career.
“My dad has had a big influence on my career, merely watching him play when I was a kid motivated me to play football, and as time flew he guided me through everything from playing as a goalie to playing as a striker now.
I can boldly say that I have inherited some of his skills such as scoring goals, dribbling, and using both feet”.
My club came second in the league last season (2019) and even won the Swedish cup in 2019.
Evelyn Ijeh had the luxury of playing for the Gothenburg U19 side at the weekend against Vaxjo Dff and nicked the first three goals for her side.
A memorable hattrick for her
” My advise to future females as regards football would be to believe in themselves, set up goals and giving 💯% in games and training
